Couples often have these two terms confused creating more discontent in their relationships.  Similarly, it is important to mention that intimacy is one of the top reasons for relationship breakups and infidelity. 

We all have heard of individuals stating, “I’m waiting until after the Holidays to file for divorce.”  Because most people miraculously think that sparing the children from knowing the plans before Christmas will soften their emotional chaos.  The fact is, after a divorce, the children, and family will most likely be worse off than they were before starting the proceeding. 

Festivities, family gatherings, and unique gifts are all at the top of the priority list for the Holidays. For many years, I spent countless hours shopping for the best prices and buying everything on everyone’s list.
